China has denied media reports that Moscow has allegedly requested military assistance from Beijing because of a special operation to protect Donbass, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a briefing
“The relevant reports circulated by the US side are false information”, – the diplomat said.
He also stressed that the US has recently become active in spreading such misinformation regarding China’s position on the Ukrainian issue.
“At this time, it is extremely important that all sides show restraint, contribute to defusing the situation rather than pouring oil on the fire, promoting a diplomatic settlement of the issue rather than its escalation”, – the PRC Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
